Government prohibits to tobacco companies to sell cigarettes at low price

Tax rising on smoking products is a new official strategy for making people to quit. There are states where taxes on cigarettes bloomed in record time. Today, prices on tobacco product doubled or tripled and this tendency continues.

It is unfair. Why some must pay more than the others? Wasn’t it enough restraining of lightening up in almost all public places?

In Butterworth, tobacco companies neglect the government request to raise taxes on cigarettes and sell them cheaper. This becomes to be a problem for local administration.

As a response to this situation, Health Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Lee Kah Choon said that government decided to stop tobacco companies from selling cigarettes at low prices. As Datuk Lee stated, the company’s price of RM3 per packet is very low, while the determinate minimal tax on cigarettes is RM3.60 per pack.

The government decided to set up fixed cost on cheap cigarettes online, and to stop war among tobacco companies for lowest prices hereby.

“We will soon enforce to set the minimum price law and make sure that the tobacco companies stick to it,” Choon said.

The minister also added that prices determine by government will be announced soon.

Lee said the maintenance of low cost by government doesn’t mean that they stop the fight against smoking, but it is just the beginning.

The most fascinating is the affirmation of Choon who said the claims that tobacco growers would lose their jobs are “exaggerated”, and they could always grow other crops.
